2.2(7) Version Software Release Note
Catalyst 3000 Series

2.2(7) Version Software Release Note
Catalyst 3000 Series

The 2.2 software releases support the existing Catalyst 3000 switch family (including the Catalyst 3000, Catalyst 3100 and Catalyst 3200) and CPW1601. The 2.2 software releases introduce the following features:

For detailed information about configuring CGMP and DISL Protocols, refer to the 2.2(1) Configuration Note. For detailed information about configuring other features on a Catalyst 3000 series switch, refer to the Installation and Configuration Guide.

Critical 2.2 Software Upgrading Instructions

Caution if you are upgrading a pre 2.0 system, you MUST upgrade the bootcode first. If you do not, the system will not boot when restarted. For complete details, see the section "Downloading the 2.0 (or above) Image to a Pre 2.0 system" in the 2.0 series of Release Notes.

Firmware and Memory Requirements for the 2.2 Releases

System Limitations

Configuration Notes

Caution Clearing a port's statistics resets all of the counters for this port, both those displayed on the console and those reported via SNMP. If you are using port statistics data for important applications you should exercise extreme caution in choosing to reset a port's statistics, since all applications dependent on such statistics will be affected.

NMS Notes

Feature Notes

This is provided for ethernet ports in the 2.2(1) release; it is extended to ATM ports in the 2.2(3) release. ATM v16 firmware is required for this feature.

Known Anomalies

The following are known conditions as of this version of the software release.

CGMP Limitations Over ATM (CSCdj04492)

Multicast sources arriving at the Catalyst 3000 series via an ATM port cannot have the list of destination ports controlled by CGMP. This is a limitation of the ATM subsystem and is not planned to be fixed in any future release.

This limitation is described in detail in the CGMP section of the 2.2(1) Configuration Note.

CGMP and Filter Table Entry Conflict (CSCdj15673)

It is not possible to run CGMP and have Address Filtering in use at the same time. CGMP will override filter table entries.

Invalid Warning Message Generated when Configuring Default ATM LANE LECS (CSCdj06271)

When configuring a new system to be LECS and LES+BUS, if an ATM address for the default ELAN is added before the system is rebooted, a warning message appears. The system behavior is not affected; the default ELAN comes up correctly. To avoid the warning message, reboot the system after configuring the system as LECS, LES+BUS and before assigning ATM addresses.

SNMP Sets Are Not Supported for ATM LANE MIBs (CSCdj21675)

SNMP Sets for the LANE server MIBs, CISCO-LECS-MIB, CISCO-LES-MIB and CISCO-BUS-MIB are not supported for the 2.2(2) release.


Note The CISCO-LEC-MIB remains unchanged with this release (it continues to support only SNMP Gets and does not support SNMP Sets).
